If I see him around, I'll ask him why he hasn't yet taken advantage of the many possibilities "Eden Prairie" provides.

Railroad Bridge - the one between 26th and 27th streets? teen ne'er-do-wells park their bikes in the trees and drink on the shore or on the bridge.
Edina -- in "Hornets! Hornets!"we were livin up at nicollet and 66th. with 3 skaters and some hoodrat chick. drove the wrong way down 169. almost died up by edina high.
The City Center ref in Hoodrat Friend always cracks me up.
And, of course, Lake Street is for Lovers.
There ought to be one of those google map hacks with little flags on all the places.

I think I have all this stuff (the odds and ends collection is all on Soft Rock, it looks like). But still - nice. Also I guess Soft Rock is outta print or something.

tru. I'd buy Half Dead and Dynamite on vinyl. that one's my favorite.
― dmr, Thursday, 12 November 2009 19:17 (fourteen years ago) link
btw it's kinda lame to me that because tad is in hold steady that the original (and best) lifter puller bassist, tommy roach is sort of written out of the band's history....he was an amazing bassist and quit i think to pursue grad school (i had him as a TA at the u of m once)..but anyway he plays in half dead, which remains their best work, and from what i have been told was very instrumental in writing lifter puller songs when he was in the band and sort of helping to define their sound.

even though i think fiestas is their masterpiece my fav lifter puller song is "sangre de stephanie," it kinda feels like every thematic touchstone finn explored in both lifter puller and the hold steady ("she crossed herself and it turned me on") appears there

I feel really lucky have seen them dozens of times in small clubs in Minneapolis in those days.
This just surfaced, sound is dodgy but this is def the era, Lifter Puller playing the Dillinger Four Midwestern Songs of the America's release show on a boat

I have so much of that album stuck in my head.
it ain't just a money thing it's a question of community, the liberty the ecstasty the love the drugs the unity and the busts they looked just like the hey kool aid commercial, they're breaking down the walls and they're tipping over tables and it tastes great

for a little bit Paddy (St. Paddy) of Dillinger Four is standing in front of the camera.
the whole Lifter Puller/D4/Atmosphere mutual appreciation society was really cool back then
